You follow it around to the left and see big doors.

The entrance is welcoming, bright and airy. We were welcomed by very friendly staff.

Clean toilets are available as well as a cafe although we didn’t use the cafe on our visit.

The Interactive Areas

The Body Area

We start the adventure off exploring and learning about the body. There are a variety of different interactive stations for us to explore.

This cycling machine was very popular, the screens showed how the bones and muscles moved.

There was then this interactive wall which showed how food was eaten and processed. The kids loved the moving fork at the beginning and the toilet at the end!! 😄

The shop

The gift shop was great and we bought a few treats!

Any improvements

Any improvements

  • Would love there to be a quiz for kids to answer, maybe using the different areas.
  • A map would be good too.

Conclusion

Overall we really enjoyed our time at Eureka! Science + Discovery. It would great tp do with a trip across to Liverpool on the ferry. With abit more planning, thus would be great.
